ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to the heating ventilating and air condition controls of residential homes, in particular to provide a uniform comfort throughout the home utilizing conventional equipment without extensive or costly modification.
SUMMARY OF INVENTION
The environmental distribution control module invention maintains an acceptably uniform comfort throughout a residential home in an economically fashion. Current residential controls sense the environment at one location. Sun location and intensity with outside temperature heat the residential home in varying degree and location. Inconsistent heating yields various temperatures within the home. The hot second floor in two story homes demonstrates a common problem. Multiply sensing of temperature and or humidity relays information to a central module. The central module determines the heating or cooling mode and acceptable tolerance of environmental variation. The central module may contain the common functions as the standard thermostat combined with multiple sensing. The decision of heating, cooling, humidifying, and mixing activates common elements of burner, compressor, humidifier, and blower fan. Automatically controlling the fan independent of the other function allows mixing of the air to maintain a reasonably uniform environment. Utilizing the fan only when required saves energy. Minimum additional equipment and rework balanced against energy savings yields an economic advantage.
